Hello Friends
It is time for a new challenge at Mini Album Makers, we had such a fantastic response to our very first challenge, it was a joy to see so many beautiful entries - thanks so much!
This month at Mini Album Makers and as always, the challenge is to create any form of (completed) handmade book, including mini albums, scrapbooks, journals and other book arts.
Recently, I got my hands on some of the new Halloween range by Tim Holtz and could not wait to create a spooky mini album (using Eileen Hull's Passport die - Sizzix 660331).
I am entering this Journal in my dear friend Darnell's NBUS Challenge #12 here. The Raven, Cobweb, Idea-ology and some of the Tim Holtz papers are all NBUS!
Thanks so much for your visit!
Hugs, Anne xx
This month at Mini Album Makers and as always, the challenge is to create any form of (completed) handmade book, including mini albums, scrapbooks, journals and other book arts.
Recently, I got my hands on some of the new Halloween range by Tim Holtz and could not wait to create a spooky mini album (using Eileen Hull's Passport die - Sizzix 660331).
I have lots of photos to share with you so I have condensed some into collage form.
1. Die cut the Journal, use Distress Oxide to colour the front and inside of the covers.
2. Die cut the signatures using Tim Holtz Halloween Paper (cut 2 for each signature).
3. Stamp the Journal covers with Tim Holtz Webs & Damask stamp set.
4. Die cut all the elements you want to use on the cover and insides.
Join the front and back to the spine and set aside.
Add some pockets to the inside cover of the album.
And now for the fun, to create the inside signatures! I created three signatures, each with two page sets and covered them with Tim's new Halloween papers, along with die cuts old and new. The pockets were all created with paper left over from cutting the pages.
A couple more of the pages, I love the witch and cobweb! I attached the signatures in pairs, with black elastic and threaded an Idea-ology charm and word band to the side of the Journal. To finish off I made a hanging charm using Tim's Idea-ology. I also used Remnant Rubs and die cuts to complete the front and back covers.
I just love the way my mini Journal turned out and hope that it inspires you to join in the fun at Mini Album Makers this month!
